Temporally distinct pre- and post-synaptic mechanisms maintain long-term potentiation.

abstract：:Vertical movement of the hip during locomotion causes a loaded backpack to be accelerated with each step, which imposes large peak forces on the wearer. Here we show that using bungee cords to suspend the load from a backpack frame reduces not only its vertical movement, and hence its vertical force on the carrier, bu...
